Communication

• One of the most popular topics discussed at a marriage retreat is communication. Failure to communicate is a problem for many couples. At a marriage retreat, a communication topic discusses the effectiveness of communicating, expressing feelings, improving listening skills, disagreeing productively and being honest.
  
  

Conflict

• Marriages are constantly faced with conflict, whether it is about romance or financial issues. At a marriage retreat, the topic of conflict is discussed to teach a couple how to find productive ways of dealing with conflict, such as keeping anger under control when conflict escalates, and finding solutions by working together.
  
  

Romance

• Romance is another popular topic at marriage retreats. Couples usually want to learn how to keep or rekindle the passion in their marriage. A marriage retreat discusses romance to help a couple rediscover each other, learn the difference between romance and intimacy, and how to show affection.
  
  

Personality Types

• Although the union of marriage makes a couple one, the spouses still have two unique personalities, which can often clash. A marriage retreat addresses this topic by assisting couples in familiarizing themselves with each other's personalities and learning to live together in harmony.
